January 1, 996 in the world calendar, the day of the Apocalypse.

The sky had just revealed a hint of fishbelly white, and Roy and Arya had already gotten up.

Roy changed into the Templar uniform he had received from Vera yesterday and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror to do the final finishing touches.

Eyebrows with black oblique bangs, sideburns with a handful of white hair, and tan eyes that are particularly deep in a slightly dimly lit room.

He was dressed in a red, white, and gold knight's uniform, and a red one-shoulder cloak on his left shoulder was carved with a golden pudia flower.

Roy stared silently at himself in the mirror, and he could see Arya behind him as she carefully smoothed the folds of his clothes.

Arya also changed into the red and white uniform of the Knights, but the uniforms of the Knights, which looked majestic enough in the past, looked a little inferior to the uniform of the Imperial Knights.

The two stood together in uniform, as if the relationship between a boss and a subordinate.

This is also a matter of course, the Imperial Knight is the messenger of the Holy Maiden to outsiders, and the status in Sidenia can be described as almost below one person and above ten thousand.

In some special cases, he was even able to temporarily take over a portion of the command of the Order in the name of the Temple.

"That's it......"

Arya pressed down the slightly upturned hair on the back of Roy's head, looked carefully at Roy in the mirror, and said with a smile, "The young master is also very handsome today!" ”

"Let's go." Roy nodded, and when he got his things ready, he walked out of the room with her.

It's convenient to go out with Arya, but you don't have to wait for her to put on makeup.

After being a nobleman, Arya naturally learned makeup before.

It's just that there was an accident in the family later, and then she became the maid of the Arnold family, and she didn't have the conditions for makeup.

Then, although the Christian family cleared her name, she also regained her nobility.

But by that time she had become an envoy and joined the Holy Knights.

The training of the Knights is very hard, and if you put on makeup, you are afraid that it will not take long for you to sweat and make up your makeup.

In addition, makeup is very troublesome, Roy also said that she likes girls without makeup, and now she has not worn makeup for a long time.

Of course, with her excellent foundation, even if she is plain and facing the sky, she can be called a country and a city, so why do you need such a thing as rouge and vulgar powder?

After breakfast in the main hall, Roy and Arya bid farewell to Renault and got into the carriage.

Sending Arya to the Order's headquarters, he reports to the Temple of Sidnia.

Dressed in the uniform of a knight in front of the wind, Roy got out of the carriage and attracted the attention of everyone at the gate of the temple.

He walked straight inside, and all the guards along the way bowed to him.

In the past few days, Roy has already understood the process of the Apocalypse Festival, and soon came to a rest room in the temple, waiting for the festival to begin.

In the lounge, there were already several middle-aged people in the same outfit as him waiting here, they were all the current royal knights of Her Royal Highness Saint Shireen, and they were also the royal knights who were about to retire.

Among them was a familiar face, D'Artagnan.

Seeing Roy coming over, he couldn't help but whistle: "Very handsome, Roy, this uniform is really suitable for you." ”

Roy smiled, casually chatting with him to pass the time.

After some time, the servants outside opened the door to the common room, and everyone looked out, and there was a young woman in her early twenties standing in the doorway.

She has white hair and golden eyes, a white robe, a golden crown on her head, a red gem on her chest, and a scepter in her hand.

Half a step behind her, there stood a middle-aged man with a height of 1.9 meters. He was a sturdy man in the uniform of a knight, and although he looked in good spirits, he couldn't hide the slight wrinkles on his face.

Seeing the young woman and the middle-aged man, everyone in the lounge suddenly restrained their relaxed expressions when talking and laughing, and solemnly gave a knightly salute to the two.

"Your Highness!"

The young woman was Shireen, the current saint of Sidnia, and the middle-aged man next to him was her chief royal knight and her husband Clinton.

They weren't the only ones who came to the lounge, two other figures that Roy knew followed.

Vera, also dressed in a white robe, followed Shireen over, and Jeno wore the uniform of a knight of the Imperial Palace, guarding her with his head held high.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being biological, Vera and Shireen's appearance is very similar.

Coupled with Shireen's extremely young appearance, when the two appear together, they look like sisters at first glance.

Of course, if you distinguish carefully, you can find that the temperaments of the two are very different, Shilin, who is 60 years old this year, shows a mature and majestic queen temperament with every gesture.

In contrast, Vera is like a flower that has just bloomed.

Although Roy knew that she already had a very good ability to handle affairs, she always had a comfortable attitude after working together in the past few days.

But when Vera stands with her mother, her youthfulness is clearly revealed.

After all, this year, she is not yet twenty years old.

"The hour has come, and it's time to go."

Shireen nodded to the Imperial Knights, and then walked outside.

Everyone moved up, and in the crowd, Roy saw Vera waving at him.

When Roy came to Vera's side, he heard her say to Jeno on the side, "I'll talk about work later, you go back and line up first." ”

The only person who can stand at the side of the saint during the festival is her chief knight.

Jeno glanced at Roy, then bowed and retired.

Roy and Vera followed the queue forward, and in the process, Roy always trailed Vera by half a step, which is the most common posture for knights and guards.

Let the superior stand in front a little, which can not only highlight the distinction between master and slave, but also not appear too arrogant, nor too far away, but look rusty.

However, Vera deliberately slowed down, stood side by side with Roy, and smiled: "The festival is about to start, are you ready?" ”

"Of course, I've memorized the process clearly." Roy nodded.

This is a fixture of the Apocalypse festival, and at this time of the year, Her Highness the Holy Maiden takes a guard of honour out of the Upper Town, passing through the main roads of the city and finally arriving at Sidenia Square.

It is also one of the few opportunities that the people of Sidneya have to see the saint every year.

As usual, the Holy Maiden would give blessings to the people in Sidenia Square in the hope that Sidenia would continue to prosper in the new year.

If there is a new and important law, it will also be announced at the end.

It's just that this year's festival is even more special, after this trip to the square, Shireen and Vera will first complete the handover ceremony of the Holy Maiden, and then complete the ceremony of the chief knight.

Arriving at the gate of the temple, Shireen then stepped into a large carriage pulled by four horses.

The carriage was not an ordinary carriage, but a square grandstand that was raised.

She and her chief knight, Clinton stood in the square stand, so that as the carriage moved forward, the crowd on both sides of the street could get a better view of Her Highness the Holy Maiden.

Vera and Roy's carriage was exactly the same size as Shireen's, and according to the rehearsal process, Roy was the first to climb the steps, and then reached out and helped Vera to the stands.

The arrangement of the stands seems simple, just a few square meters of square space surrounded by a fence and some decorations such as flowers and precious stones, but he knows that the structure is also complicated.

Under the stands is a state-of-the-art protective device that, when activated, creates a shield that can withstand the attacks of high-level inheritors.

Standing with Vera in the stands of the carriage, Roy looked down and saw everything around him.

At the end of the procession, a blonde girl knight wearing a sword and a knight's uniform was leading the knights of the Order in a formation, ready to protect the safety of the team as they marched.

A smile could not help but appear on his face.

With the arrival of Shireen and the others, the guard of honor that had been prepared in front of the temple played music, and the entire patrol team was quickly assembled.

A hundred large salutes placed nearby were also ignited at this time, and during the day a fireworks feast was no less than last night's.

Then, the other knights led the way, and the carriages of Shireen and Clinton drove out of the temple first, followed by Vera and Roy's carriages.

Behind them was a line of honor guards and bands, as well as a knightly escort sent by the Order.

The Apocalypse Festival has officially begun.
